We provide help to troubled teens and children who cannot live at home because they exhibit harmful or addictive behaviors that endanger the safety of themselves or those around them. We accept teens from CPS, private placement (parent or guardian), and those assigned from Central Valley Regional Center (C.V.R.C.) The specific conditions and concerns of individuals accepted into the program may include, but is not limited to:
Individuals who meet the entrance criteria will be taught the appropriate skills necessary to become more independent and will receive support and resources that allow them to participate in as many areas of community life as possible. Those with behavioral health conditions, development disabilities, and mental health conditions will receive the necessary skills, training, and guidance to diminish disruptive and self-injurious behaviors.
Throughout all of our programs and treatment plans, our staff provides each individual with choices regarding what they’d like to do. We also respect the role of our participants’ families and take them into consideration when possible.
Group homes provide troubled children and non-minor dependents with a home-like environment where they receive therapy, treatment, and care for mental health issues of behavioral problems.
Living in a group home like ZND, troubled children and non-minor dependents receive a structured schedule that includes attending a local public school, receiving nonmedical care services, attending therapy sessions, and participating in community-based activities. Our participants are also actively involved in many daily activities that accompany real home life, like shopping, chores, and house cleaning.
Yes, there are several different types of group homes that vary based on the level of care and the specific needs of intended residents.
Supervised group homes support and treat individuals who have developmental disabilities that render them dependent or co-dependent on others for their daily care and survival. For adults, these facilities are known as skilled nursing facilities that focus on treating those with debilitating physical or mental health issues, like dementia and severe cerebral palsy.
There are also gender-exclusive placements, including group homes for boys and group homes for girls. Some group homes are operated by a provider agency (known as an agency-run group home), while other group homes are privately operated.
